    6. Glen Tilt to the Falls of Tarf - 25 miles - Easy route - Start at Glen Tilt car park. This is a very popular route for both cyclists and walkers. The river Tilt is set in a deep glen with good farm roads to follow. You will see the remains of crofting communities as you pass up the glen to The Falls of Tarf.

The route takes you up on to the moorlands, where the remains of an old settlement is clearly seeen. It is also possible to go to the Falls Bruar via a short detour.

    8. Old Blair and Blair Castle west drive - 3.7 miles - Easy Route - Start at Glen Tilt car park. Turn left out of the car park and cycle through Old Blair, following the blue way markers, which will take you behind Blair Castle through farm land before turning back through woods and finally along the Banvie Burn.

    9. Craigower, Bealach and Fonab Forest - Hard route - We recommend that you  use an ordinance survey map - this route takes you from Killiecrankie up over the shoulder of the hill to Moulin and cross Pitlochry passed the theatre across the A9 and over the hill to Grandtully and back.
